After updating Firefox to ver. 67.0, a dialog box with the headline "Open Executable File?" is coming up every time I open an executable.

How can I disable those warnings? (Unchecking these on Firefox's settings didn't help).

Go to about:config and paste this key in the search field:

browser.download.skipConfirmLaunchExecutable

It could not exist, but you can create it from there as a bool. Set it to true.

For Web Start (JNLP), newer Java versions configure (on Windows and MAC) a custom protocol handler that seems to avoid this dialog. Similar can be done on Linux but would require some manual configuration which is explained here:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/setup.html

So instead of http://example.com/foo.jnlp do this: jnlp://example.com/foo.jnlp
